They don't give a damn dude. as long as copyright holders dont complain and people buy premium accounts, theyre ok with it. Unlike Hotfile that is pretty sensitive about copyrighted material.

'Universal recently got YouTube to take down a video made by MegaUpload, which featured a number of recording artists who got together to assemble a song supporting the site, which Universal has previously gone after. Despite owning ALL the rights to the song, all Universal had to do was complain and without question, the song was banished. '

Music has got even worse. This is why I don't pay any attention to the charts or watch the music channel as it's always sh*t like this. Oh well I guess it's personal opinion. Unfortunately I've heard worse though. I bet rival sites like Rapidshare don't like it.

Oh God, don't even get me started on SOPA.
Heres a short summary for those of you not in the USA:
Government censorship bill, will allow
1. Anyone to go to jail for uploading anything copyrighted in any way
2. Sites like Youtube, 4chan, PirateBay to be blocked by the government
3. Ability to take down any website with no trial or investgation
4. American sites will have to review every single piece of material they upload
It's basically just a hollywood moneymaker, it will turn the USA internet into China.
